I believe that with sufficient care, a stateless proxy can be
constructed that performs additional forks when it receives a 3xx
response, and that this behavior is valid under RFC 3261.  But there is
no reason that one would want to build such a proxy, since it would be
much easier to pass the 3xx response "upstream".
